Panellists Josefina Lindblom, Policy Officer for DG Environment, Kevin O'Grady, Associate Director at ARUP, Tina Paillet, FRICS, RICS Europe Board Chair, and Yvette Watson, Co-founder of PHI Factory, discussed the future of the built environment and how to better integrate sustainability into the industry.

Josefina Lindblom introduced Level(s) and outlined how the framework plans to help embed a whole-life carbon approach and circularity principles in the sector. ‘Level(s) is the language to get these things into policy,’ she explained. Yvette also spoke about Level(s), saying 'Level(s) is a transparent and harmonised reporting platform, which brings in the full life cycle'.

Further emphasising the need to move towards greater sustainability, Tina stated ‘public procurement should lead the way in including life cycle thinking and whole-life carbon. The private market will follow'.
